Best practices removing fields from module built in Module Builder

Francesca Shiekh

I have a module that was built in Module builder which, after some time, we decided not to use.

How can I remove those fields considering the Delete is not an option in Studio after deployment?

I don't like empty columns in my database, they just take up space.

    You should be able to remove them through the use of a vardefs extension. The idea would be to create a vardefs extension that unsets the values from corresponding dictionary.

    So long as you don't leave any code behind that references the fields (e.g. logic hooks, BPM), it should be fine. I've done similar with stock fields in the past.
